By default +tarlz creates, lists and extracts archives in a simplified posix pax format +compressed with lzip on a per file basis. Each tar member is compressed in +its own lzip member, as well as the end\-of\-file blocks. This method is fully +backward compatible with standard tar tools like GNU tar, which treat the +resulting multimember tar.lz archive like any other tar.lz archive. Tarlz +can append files to the end of such compressed archives. +.PP +The tarlz file format is a safe posix\-style backup format. In case of +corruption, tarlz can extract all the undamaged members from the tar.lz +archive, skipping over the damaged members, just like the standard +(uncompressed) tar. Moreover, the option '\-\-keep\-damaged' can be used to +recover as much data as possible from each damaged member, and lziprecover +can be used to recover some of the damaged members. .SH OPTIONS .TP \fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR @@ -15,6 +28,9 @@ display this help and exit \fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR output version information and exit .TP +\fB\-A\fR, \fB\-\-concatenate\fR +append tar.lz archives to the end of an archive +.TP \fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-create\fR create a new archive .TP @@ -48,17 +64,29 @@ create solidly compressed appendable archive \fB\-\-dsolid\fR create per\-directory compressed archive .TP +\fB\-\-no\-solid\fR +create per\-file compressed archive (default) +.TP \fB\-\-solid\fR create solidly compressed archive .TP -\fB\-\-group=\fR -use name/id for added files +\fB\-\-anonymous\fR +equivalent to '\-\-owner=root \fB\-\-group\fR=\fI\,root\/\fR' .TP \fB\-\-owner=\fR -use name/id for added files +use name/ID for files added +.TP +\fB\-\-group=\fR +use name/ID for files added +.TP +\fB\-\-keep\-damaged\fR +don't delete partially extracted files +.TP +\fB\-\-missing\-crc\fR +exit with error status if missing extended CRC .TP \fB\-\-uncompressed\fR -don't compress the created archive +don't compress the archive created .PP Exit status: 0 for a normal exit, 1 for environmental problems (file not found, invalid flags, I/O errors, etc), 2 to indicate a corrupt or @@ -70,6 +98,7 @@ Report bugs to lzip\-bug@nongnu.org Tarlz home page: http://www.nongnu.org/lzip/tarlz.html .SH COPYRIGHT Copyright \(co 2018 Antonio Diaz Diaz. +Using lzlib 1.11\-rc2 License GPLv2+: GNU GPL version 2 or later .br This is free software: you are free to change and redistribute it. -- cgit v1.2.3
